The Eagles need a spark on special teams, and they might have found their answer.

The Eagles made a minor roster move on Tuesday, signing former New York Jets wide receiver/kick returner Brad Smith. In order to make room for Smith, the team released wideout B.J. Cunningham.

Smith was released by the Buffalo Bills last week following his recovery from a rib injury, but passed a physical with the Eagles and practiced with the team on Tuesday.

Smith, 6-2, 210 lbs, will likely step right into both of those roles. The former Buffalo Bill and New York Jet, Smith averages 26 yards per kick return and has four career touchdowns. Smith has played multiple positions throughout his career, and has four rushing touchdowns, five receiving touchdowns, and one passing touchdown.

With that kind of flexibility, it's hard to imagine Smith won't see some playing time right away for the Eagles.

The decision to release Cunningham over Damaris Johnson is a surprising one. Johnson played just one snap on Sunday and has seen his duties as kick and punt returner taken away.
